Get Rid of 100 Things Weekend Decluttering Challenge

Ding.

I look down at my phone and find myself shaking my head in annoyance. I glare at my husband’s text message, “Let’s do 100 things this weekend.”

We’d recently chatted about an online article where a gentleman decided to lead his life owning only one-hundred things. While the underlying concepts were interesting, I’d expressed how frustrating it is that so many pieces about minimalism are not even remotely family-friendly.

“Sure, 100 things,” I snarkily replied, “Why not?”

But then he proposed a unique plan…

“This weekend, let’s get rid of 100 things.”

This easy challenge uncovered the hidden ways our ‘stuff’ had been weighing us down and helped us realize how much time we waste on caring for (and organizing!) our things. Unbeknownst to us, doing the 100 Things Weekend Decluttering Challenge was our first step towards an UnBusy Life.

I am SO excited about doing the Get Rid of 100 Things Weekend Decluttering Challenge with you.

The truth is, organizing rarely works with kids or (shhh!) partners.

The easiest way to organize your stuff is to get rid of most of it. — Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus
